    1. You’ve now put up a paywall on Facebook for new users. Worse, a lot of new users are likely not going to have a banking account in their name, so there is nothing to verify except maybe a location of bank.
    2. Banks do not verify identity for people online. The few companies that do verification are major tech companies, but then Meta may not want to force users to build up an account elsewhere before making an account on their website.
    3. All email verification does is verify that a person has an email address. It does not verify that the email address is for a person.
